In Minnesota.

In Minnesota.
| ST. PAUL.
Gov. McGill-I'm inclined to think
| Sherman would be the right man.
would rather see Blaine president than
anybody else for good many reasons,
but | am inclined to think he is not so
available as Sherman. Gen. Sherman
is very we'll equipped mamie is
man who would be favOrably regarded
| by all, by both the business element and
the political element. That is my pri-
vate opinion.
Gen. Mark D. Flower-Wen, Sher-
man, think. really believe he is the
only man who can unite the Republican
party. We have tried Blaine once, and
while there is good deal that can be
shadow of truth tool don't believe
anything can be brought against Sher-
man. He is man for the people.
| Now, Edmunds could never be the man.
Look how he sulked in his tent in the
last campaign, and guess he now real
ICES that his prospects as a presidential
candidate are forever dead.
II. S. Fairchild-My choice for the
presidency in 1888 is John Sherman, of
Ohio, statesman, financier and good
conservative citizen. Business men
would have implicit faith in him and
| there would be no harum Scarum foreign
policy about his administration.
Ex-Railroad Commissioner S. S. Muir
| dock-I am for John Sherman.
Congressman MacDonald-It is rather
| early, but | am for Cleveland
EX-Gov. L. F. Hubbard-I have
| always been Blaine man and / am vet.
J. f. Norrish-For Cleveland, sure.
| j. F. Cross-Blaine has always been
my choice and guess he is now.
Mayor Robert A. Smith, want the
best man for the party and the country,
| and haven't made up my mind who
that IS yet. l can tell better after
awhile.
Horace Dunno, secretary to the
mayorEI have no choice among the
parties. When get time 1 think 1 will
| organize new party with new plat
form, new ideas, and new and young
men to push it. l believe the country
is tired of these old fogy notions about
the war and other dead issues.
John Roche, City Comprehensive
country has been SO universally success
full and prosperous under the present
administration that believe the people
| want to continue Grover Cleveland in
power. The United States and its peo-
pie have never prospered so well since
the Revolution as in the past few years.
Undoubtedly Cleveland is the man.
Capt. James Starkey, Ga war Demo-
crat)-My candidate is Grover Cleve-
land.
Clerk of Supreme Court Jones-Well,
don't know. was beginning to think
quite seriously of the matter. The Re-
publican party was never before so I'M
settled upon the presidential question
as now. A good many men would like
ln
elected. Of course the Democrats will
nominate Cleveland.
State Auditor Braden-Any good Re-
publican will suit me. Blaine will do,
or Sherman is good enough man for
me. For vice president, Lincoln or
Fairchild.
Assistant Supt. Pendergast-Blaine
or Lincoln.
Secretary of State Mattson-I don't
know. Logan was my choice. but he's
dead. I've no choice between Sherman
and Blaine. suppose it will be either
one of them.
Adjt. Gen. Seely-Any man except
Blaine. Either Sherman or Gresham
will do. l have sometimes thought that
young man-nOt very young man either
Lincoln would make very good pres
ident.
Public Examiner Knox-I saw the
other day something about Bob Lin
coin and Joe Hawley." If it was the
other way-"Joe Hawley and Bob Lin
cOln''-it would be a good ticket.
Deputy Clerk of Supreme Court Helm
My choice is Blaine. Then comes the
dent, and should think we would want
man from the West if Blaine was
nominated for president. Lincoln would
be good man for vice president.
Senator S. J. r. McMillan-I am not
engaging very heavily i'll politics now
but am devOting my attention to law.
Still | am partial to Mr.. Sherman, whom
l esteem very highly as statesman and
representative American.
c. A. Severance have never had
but one choice for presidential candi-
date since L was old enough to know
anything about the matter. That man
is James G. Blaine.
d. w. Lawler-Mr. Cleveland every
time.
County Attorney Eagan = Grover
Cleveland, first, last and all the time.
He is a strong, keen man. am in
favor of civil service reform and like
the way he looks at that question.
United States Marshal Campbell-I
think Mr.. Cleveland would make the
strongest candidate.
choice. l think he is just about right.
j. f. Lewis would like to see James
G. Blaine a candidate, but / don't ex-
pect to see him nominated. Sherman is
my second choice.
E. E. Mcdonald would like to see
Blaine nominated. and l think he will
be elected if he gets the nomination.
n. 9. Murray am Democrat. but
l have not made up my mind on a can
didate yet. l think Hill would make a
good man.
S. P: Folsom-Cleveland suits me well
enough.
E. r. Bryant have not considered
the matter yet, but | rather think Cleve-
land is all right.
+. E. Bryant-I'll vote for j. G. Blaine
Just as many times as he is candidate.
Sherman is my second choice.
G. E. Barnard-Blaine is good enough
for me, and think he will get the NOM
nation.
w. G. Goforth-Blaine is my first
choice and Sherman second. Either
one of them would suit me.
j. E. Markham worked hard for the
old ticket-Blaine and Logan-and [
think I'll stick by Blaine.
M. L. Propping-I think Blaine is the
only statesman we have. He is my
choice.
j. F. Fitzpatrick Cleveland is nv
